Zhou Jilin was quite fond of Xia Duo, especially since she had been by his side during his illness these past few days. Consequently, their bond deepened. Compared to Zhou Yixiu, who only knew how to cause him trouble and headaches outside every day, Zhou Jilin naturally chose to side with Xia Duo.
Seeing Zhou Yixiu still unfriendly towards Xia Duo, Zhou Jilin said, "Your stepmother is concerned about you; what kind of attitude is this?"
"Dad." Zhou Yixiu was somewhat displeased, "You've gotten senile, why do you just believe this woman's words? Do you think she really cares about me? Don't you know that she used to have a thing with Qi Cheng, and now she's worried for Qi Cheng, not because she cares about me?"
As he spoke, Zhou Yixiu glanced coldly at Xia Duo.
He knew Xia Duo had recently been close to Zhou Jinlian, and he also noticed his father's attitude towards him had clearly changed, easily guessing that Xia Duo, this vile woman, had meddled.
